AUTHORIZATION AND UNDERSTANDING
Upon the signing of this application, I represent that all of the information now or hereafter given by me in support of my application is true and
complete. I authorize you to verify any of the information concerning my employment or education with the appropriate individuals, companies,
institutions or agencies, and I authorize them to release such information as you require, including my prior disciplinary employment record,
without any obligation to give me written notice of such disclosure. I also authorize you to release any information requested by any of my
prospective or subsequent employers, including disciplinary employment records. I specifically waive any rights to be notified under Section
6(3)(a) of the Michigan Bullard-Plawecki Act of the release of personnel file information by prior employers and of the release of personnel file
information to prospective employers by the City of Traverse City. I hereby release you and them from any liability whatsoever as a result of any
such inquiries and disclosures. I agree that any false information in support of my application may subject me to discharge at any time during
the period of my employment.
If applying for a position with the City of Traverse City, I understand I may be subject to a full background investigation, including finger print
checks, a review of police and arrest records, and a review of any criminal conviction history. If applying for a position which involves working
with children, I understand that I am subject to a background investigation that will include a review of any criminal conviction history.
I agree that any action or suit against the City arising out of my employment or termination of employment, including but not limited to claims
arising under State or Federal civil rights statutes, must be brought within 180 days of the event giving rise to the claims or be forever barred. I
waive any limitation periods to the contrary. I further agree that if I should bring any action or claim arising out of my employment against the
City in which the City prevails, I will pay to the City any and all costs incurred by the City in defense of said claims or actions, including attorney
fees. I further agree that my employment is conditional until such time as the results of my post-offer employment physical and drug test are
known.
FOR NON-BARGAINING UNIT POSITION APPLICANTS
I understand that neither this document nor any offer of employment constitutes a contract of employment. I agree that either party may
terminate the employment relationship, with or without cause, at any time, and I further agree that this arrangement may only be altered in
writing directed to me personally and signed by the City Manager. I agree that I shall be bound by the rules, policies, regulations, and terms and
conditions of employment of the City as they are from time to time changed, and no additional obligations can be imposed on the City except
that which have been acknowledged in writing by the City Manager.
FOR BARGAINING UNIT POSITION APPLICANTS
I understand that conditions of my employment will be in accordance with the applicable collective bargaining unit agreement with the City of
Traverse City. I agree that I shall be bound by the rules, policies, regulations, and terms of employment of the City as they are from time to time
changed, and no additional obligations can be imposed on the City except those which have been acknowledged in writing by the City Manager.
I further understand that the Michigan Handicappers’ Civil Rights Act, MCL 37.1101, et seq, requires employers to make accommodations to
handicapped applicants and employees where the accommodation does not impose an undue hardship on the employer. Handicapped
employees and applicants may request an accommodation of their handicap by notifying the City in writing of the need for accommodation
within 182 days of the date the handicapper knows or should know that an accommodation is needed. Under the Act, failure to properly notify
the City will preclude any claim that the employer failed to accommodate the handicapper.
